Day 3 of my new quicker paced jogging and gym routine - woo hoo. Today hurt though - I am not sure why, but my best guess was the cooler weather made it more difficult to breathe. At least that's my story. In the gym - I am going slow, but steady. With all of the arm machines I am doing 30 reps with 20 lbs and with the leg machines I do 30 reps with 40 lbs. Its a start :) The legs aren't too bad except that one of the machines is not really made for someone my size and I am not sure how to adjust the chair part of it so that I can actually sit with my back against the back of the chair. Oh well - with the arms I am doing alright except that the shoulder press machine doesn't seem to be aligned properly so if I were to fully extend my arms one wouldn't actually be fully extended. I guess that is what I get for using the free gym at my complex instead of getting a membership somewhere that actually cares about the people using the equipment's safety and physical advancement.

In May, 2010 I decided to become a Jogger. I was doing it to lose the 8% of body fat that I need to in order to be considered "lean" and to jog my first 5k. In October, 2010 I met one of my goals and jogged my first 5k! In 2011, I jogged my 2nd 5k and my first ever 10k!! My goal for 2012 has switched from a focus on jogging to a focus on muscle building so that I can get closer to my 8% goal!
